    I have been using 'Mac Inker' for about a year. I have the Epson version.
In that time I have inked about 35 ribbons. Only one very cheap ribbon failed
to work properly. I was able to jerry-rig it to get it inked. I keep the head
pressure on the printer set to minimum, and re-ink often. This minimizes wear
on printer and ribbon. I keep 4 ribbons around and rotate them. It takes about
a half hour to ink a ribbon. The process is a little messy.
